James Kennedy makes live theater that plumbs the depths of our shared humanity.

Most recently, his new musical piece Prodigy enjoyed a sold-out extended run at University Settlement’s Speyer Hall. When not self-producing his work in bespoke performance, concert, and development events, his writing has been produced by Actors Theatre of Louisville/The Humana Festival of New American Plays, The Washington National Opera at The Kennedy Center, The Williamstown Theatre Festival, The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Upstart Creatures, Emerson College, Dartmouth College, and Superhero Clubhouse, and he has performed sold out concerts at National Sawdust and the Green Room 42. He has received residencies from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Everwood Farmstead, and The Orchard Project, and he is the recipient of the Rod Parker Playwrighting Fellowship and the Betsy Carpenter Playwrighting Award, as well as a finalist for the Princess Grace award.

James’s creative work is possible thanks to the ongoing support of his Patreon subscribers, who in return receive monthly updates on projects in development as well as early access to tickets and demos. Please visit here to learn more and subscribe.
